Movehappy Reviews

We first received contact from Paul and his team at the end of October, following our initial enquiry to properties we saw on their comprehensive website.

We had already booked an inspection trip with another Company however this was cancelled as having undertaken further research, we were not satisfied with the properties and locations and anyway we had now seen the properties we wanted to focus on.

It still took a further 5 months to actually get to Spain and in that time Paul and Fran kept in contact and responded to our many questions regarding off plan investment, mortgages and Paul‟s experiences of actually living in Spain. We specifically wanted to pay our own way and attain our independence and Paul respected this with no issue.

The visit was arranged over a 4 day period and on arrival Paul met us at the airport and took us for a drink and chat at the hotel he had booked on our behalf. We discussed our ideas and family requirements once again and Paul left us for the evening to settle in and enjoy our evening meal.

The morning after, up and raring to go Paul, explained the plans for the day ahead, arranging for us to see key ready properties in and around the Murcia area. During the car journeys, Paul gave us an overview of the area in a very relaxed and friendly manner without a hint of selling or pressure, it was more of a fact finding mission on the area in general as he showed us the various sites and properties for consideration. At the end of day 1, Paul dropped us at the beach for a few hours‟ relaxation and Family time as we made our way back to the Hotel for the evening, getting a feel for the area for ourselves.

Day 2 and off to see other sites and eventually onto the site which had stirred our interest. The site was nothing more than an open field surrounded by mountains but Paul had taken the time to show us alternatives, allowing us to visualise what this would become in a short period of time. We spent a good few hours at the site reviewing the plan and different properties available and eventually out onto the site to the area we had selected our Villa. Paul spent the whole time explaining the options without any pressure and we eventually left for the day without a final decision being made, again being dropped off by Paul for us to gather our thoughts on the day.

We returned the following day and after a few tense deliberations with the builder during which Paul was extremely helpful, we made our decision ! It was then documentation, off to Lunch for celebration and then onto the Solicitor for review of the paperwork before returning to the site for completion with signatures.

The final day was uneasy with a sense of trepidation at our decision, Paul took it all in his stride and explained the long term benefits as we visited the Bank, a furniture retailer, then lunch, before Paul took the time to take us on an afternoon‟s sightseeing of the La Manga area.

Paul was highly professional, listening and calmly answering the many questions we had during the decision making process, he knew it would be a matter of time before we made our decision, be it then or at sometime later, but he assisted us all the way in our discussions with the Developer.

I know I tested Paul to the very limit, but he responded and continues to maintain contact with us through the build process. Thank You Paul. We are pleased with the decision we have made and have no hesitation in recommending Paul and the team to others looking to take the plunge and buy their dream home in Spain.

May I take this opportunity to thank your company for all of your help that we received during what we thought would be a rather stressful process.I am delighted to say our experience was quite the opposite.I was to say the least, worried about the Spanish legal system, the lawyer provided by yourselves was efficient and communicated in perfect English. Your knowledge of the area amazed my wife and I, you certainly took the stress out of the experience. Your movehappy offer was a pleasant surprise, my wife certainly enjoyed choosing the furniture for our new villa.

We cannot thank you enough for your knowledge, patience and friendly approach, you have restored our faith in Estate Agents. All the best for the future and we will highly recommend.

My first communications with Paul started two or three weeks before I met him in person. He was in constant contact and would reply to my emails straight away (I am an impatient person so this was good) There was no deviating from my brief as I needed a house big enough for a young family and at a price I could afford…….Yipeee, I got it. He has got good contacts in place to help you before you commit i.e. solicitor/bank manager etc. and this was helpful as prices always seem to increase with some charge or another. At least I knew all the costs involved.

Paul himself is a really nice person who has done himself proud and I wish him all the best and look forward to meeting up again…..best of luck Paul.

Phenomenal company. Our experience buying in Spain could not have been any better than it was with Movehappy.

Our trip to Spain to view Villas was faultless. We were picked up from the airport and taken to a hotel Movehappy had recommended. We were given time to enjoy ourselves before being taken to view a selection of beautiful Villas the following day. We were lucky enough to find our dream home in Villamartin quickly. We were assisted in opening our Spanish Bank account and paying the deposit required to secure our home.

Since returning to the UK, Movehappy has continued to assist us with every aspect of purchasing our Villa and have kept us updated throughout. At no point in our journey so far have we felt any stress or pressure, so thank you Movehappy for everything.

We are so very excited to start our new life.

H Paul, Just writing to say Thank You for making our stay a pleasurable one. Your dedication and personal touch has found my family the right area and property for us to build a future in Spain. Thanks to you a big decision was made easy and enjoyable, your knowledge of the area and the relationship you have with the developers, lawyers and Banks made a huge difference.

A big Thank You for helping us live our dream…. Emma

As exciting as it was to begin looking at properties in Spain, I was also filled with dread at the thought of having to go through an estate agent. Pushy salesmen have always been a ‘pet hate’ of mine. For this reason as well as many others I am delighted I chose Movehappy to deal with my purchase in Torrevieja. At no point did I feel that I was being pressured in the slightest. For me, this was incredibly important.

My sale was dealt with in a professional, timely and and friendly manner throughout. I hope to do business with you again in the future.

Making the decision to move my family to Spain was not an easy one. Having two young children, not only did we need to find the perfect house for us but we needed to find the perfect school and community to make the transition as smooth as possible for them.

When looking at properties initially, we expected an estate agents would only help in the search and sale of a property. However MoveHappy helped with EVERY aspect of our move. On top of this, their MoveHappy packages are fantastic.

Thank you so much to you for making our move possible, We really could not have done it without you.

Thank you Fran and Paul for making it seem easy to buy a house in Spain. We thought it would be a difficult and stressful process but not with Movehappy. You dealt with everything for us and kept us well updated. Thank you.

As a golfer location was key for me. Paul found me the perfect villa on a golf resort and close to several other golf courses. His knowledge of the local area has been invaluable to me and he assisted me every step of the way. Thank you mate, Rich.

Many thanks Paul for all your time and attention. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone thinking of buying in Spain. You took the time to really listen to what I wanted and matched me to my perfect home, Ribera Beach, Mar de Cristal. At no time did I feel under any sort of pressure or that you were trying to sell me something you wanted to sell.

Once again you listened and you matched, as I opened the door of the show home I knew it was the place for me and said to myself “I could be very happy here”. See you in October when I next come out to check on progress.
